Meridian's Links
Fucking FINALLY, a SON. He's been waiting for this forever, and it finally happened! Look at him! His pride and joy! Little baby boy, pink like himself. With his mom's cute pointy muzzle.
...Admittedly, Caelmir was born a little... late. That's not to say Din's planning on DYING anytime soon, GOD no, he's still alive and kickin'! But he's not the youngest either, and his job is... risky. He found that with Caelmir's birth, he started being a bit more wary, and hesitant, which can be dangerous, especially in dire situations. In his efforts to not die TOO fast, he might actually make the poor kid a half-orphan quicker (and his wife a widow, for that matter)!
Plus, Cael seems pretty serious about that detective stuff, too. Yeah, he's like, 12, but... he's so insistent on it! And yeah the job's AWESOME but he could get hurt!!
Dad. Is. AWESOME. He taught Caelmir A LOT of detective tricks, and gave him like, his own magnifying glass, and dad's old brown trench coat! It smells of smoke. BUT SO DOES CAELMIR.
With all of that knowledge, he's sure to find out what happened to grandma!!
Well, he CERTAINLY got his temperament and stubborness from mom. He misses her, of course, he did love her. He just had... difficult ways of showing it, and maybe he was just a bit bitter that she was never around. Losing her was... sudden.. but somehow also, uh, expected. Like, everyone suspected that if she dies, she dies working. And she did! Somewhere in the snowscapes. Horrible. And he can't even retrieve her body...
...
But he wouldn't mind dying while doing what he loved, either. He should research, maybe it's some unspoken family tradition he's unaware of, ha!
Moony has no idea who this is, and have never seen him. But for some reason, seeing huskies gives her a very warm fuzzy feeling. It's bad for her ice powers, dammit.
Aw, look at her son all grown up. He was a pain in the ASS when he was younger, and then grew up to be a pain in the ass too, but for the people who deserved it! She admits it's probably her fault that he was a borderline criminal as a teen, but listen - there was research to be done! And no-one wanted to do it but her! So she's justified, right?
Hey look, it's SAM! Meridian has absolutely no trouble recognising her since Willow won't fucking stop showing him those goddamned PICTURES OF HER.
...A quality daughter tho. Seems a very nice young lady, though he hasn't had much chance to actually speak to her. She doesn't have to be so scared of him! Yeah ok maybe he LOOKS and... TALKS and smells and feels a little scary but he's not! Really!!
Ah yes it's just the BEST WORK PARTNER HE'S EVER HAD. No seriously Willow's great! Likes fights, has badass powers, likes Caelmir... and... yeah tbh that's enough to already be great but she's more than that, obviously! A professional, that he's proud to work alongside of. He knows he can't really replace... uh, whatever guy was working there BEFORE him, but he's gonna do his damn best that's for sure!
Willow's wife, who's uh, as far as he's gathered, quiet? And suspicious??
...But very fighty. Goddammit he LIKES this family!
His relationship with Peter was an adventure from start to.... now. They could hate each other and next day be absolute besties, and he's not afraid to say they actually used to be best friends for quite a while! Enough so that after Din's mom died and after Cat got into his 'accident', they supported each other, even if the rest of their group kinda fell apart. Even if they drifted apart eventually, with jobs and families and stuff, Din still likes to catch up with Cat from time to time.
He's weird tbh, but enjoyably weird!
Din's AWESOME. Used to be, and still is! A detective! How cool is that!! THIS guy's gotta have an adventurous life! Didn't uhhhhhhHHHH Ali end up a detective as well or something? Man, they all kinda grew up to be decent people in the end! Dandy!
..... His mom WAS kinda secondhandedly accidentally kinda killed by Cat's dad, though. Oops. Din never seemed to really blame Cat, though. Maybe he didn't know that it was his dad that made the journey possible. Or maybe he just knew Cat hated the guy.
